Domains are crucial for any online business these days. Read the tips below to get the most out of your
online presence!

Tip 1: Register a domain that's easy to remember

Be sure to register your company or organization’s name. If it’s particularly long or difficult to spell,
register a shorter variation or initials. For example, register the following domains:

Domain 1 (company name): Perfecthosting-hosting.com

Domain 2 (shorter variation): Perfecthosting.com

Domain 3 (initials): PH.com

Tip 2: Register other top level domains

If you run an international organization, you may wish to register top level domains (TLD’s) of other
countries or generic TLD’s. Your target audience might search on that specific TLD. If you run a national
organization it’s always a good idea to protect your company’s name.

The most popular TLD’s are:

.com

.net

.org

Tip 3: Register various domains

Search engines are essential for getting visitors to your website. The higher your website scores in the
search results, the higher the chance that visitors will click on your link. This is why it is important
that several domains link to your website. Search engines will rate and position your website higher in the
search results if more domains link to your website

Secondly, many customers and prospects enter their search term directly in the address bar. It is important
that your website address displays when a customer is searching for a website like yours. For example,
register:

the product names as a domain;

the product name in combination with your country or city;

the description of your product.

Tip 4: Register misspelled domains

Customers or prospects often enter a misspelled domain in the address bar. To ensure that these customers or
prospects visit your website, you should register these misspelled domains.

The difference between a domain and a sub domain can be explained easily.

While a domain is a full website address, totally independent of other domains, a sub
domain depends on a domain. If for example "yourdomain.com" is your domain, then
http://yourdomain.com and http://www.yourdomain.com would be your domain name's address.

A sub domain name would be a name *under* your domain name, something like
"subdomain.yourdomain.com". Its address would then be: http://subdomain.yourdomain.com
and http://www.subdomain.yourdomain.com. It can say anything you want instead of "sub
domain" and the nice thing is that unlike a full domain name, a sub domain does not need
to be registered. You can add it for free.

How can I delete a domain from my account?

In order to delete a domain from your account, take the following steps:

1. Open the Domains tab.
2. Click 'Delete' for the domain you wish to delete.
3. Confirm the deactivation of the domain.

Where can I find the auth code?

The auth code can be found by following the steps below:

1. Click on the 'Auth code' tab by the domain you would like to transfer. This will
display an ´Outgoing transfers´ block above your domains list.
2. Click the 'Auth code' tab to view the auth code of that domain.

To be noted: do not disclose the auth code to anyone.
